Fact Check: Now BJP To Contest Polls In Sri Lanka?

Chennai: Recently, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb revealed that Amit Shah wants to establish BJP governments in Nepal and Sri Lanka. A message followed that the BJP has launched a branch in Sri Lanka and has appointed V Muthuswami as its leader.
